This hands-on tutorial is intended to help you navigate your way through the steps that lead to becoming a MongoDB DBA.

You will start by making sure you know about all the reasons to use MongoDB, and what a typical topology looks like for a replica set - including setting up your first one!

We will not talk about sharding in this session (please see the afternoon one for that). Instead, the focus will be on a few areas:

- What is MongoDB- How different is MongoDB from MySQL?- The (most) common MongoDB topologies- CRUD: data management- Aggregations- Import/export- Backups- Schema design patterns- Replica Set upgrade- Securing your setup- Common issues: How to detect, verify and address them using logs, Percona Toolkit and PMM

Do you want to get more familiar with how to become a MySQL DBA? Are you a developer familiar with writing applications that use MySQL, but feel a bit limited on how to manage a MySQL database?

This full-day tutorial will be mainly hands-on. We'll show some slides on each of the various topics presented, but the goal is to have YOU the student work in a MySQL environment as much as possible.

What will we cover? Almost every aspect of being a MySQL DBA,on MySQL 5.7:- We will install MySQL and configure the right privileges for your system- Once we have a database running, we will get a better understanding of what our database is doing and look at the different possible diagnostics and monitoring options in MySQL using PMM and other tools.- We will troubleshoot issues- We will discuss and try some of the different backup options, since not losing any data is an important goal for a MySQL DBA - We will clarify and troubleshoot replication

@ Room E

Jenni Snyder - Yelp

Open source relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL power some of the world's largest websites, including Yelp. They can be used out of the box with few adjustments, and rarely require a dedicated Database Administrator (DBA) right away. This means that System Administrators, Site Reliability Engineers, or Developers are usually the first to respond to some of the more interesting issues that can arise as you scale your databases.

In this talk, I'll assume that you already have a database up and running and will first go over a broad set of basics to introduce you to MySQL Database Administration. Next, I will cover the InnoDB storage engine, high performance and availability, monitoring and database defense. Finally, I'll cover the wide array of online resources, books, open source toolkits and scripts from MySQL, Percona and the Open Source community that will make the job easier.

While not hands-on, I'll be encouraging questions and this is expected to be a very interactive tutorial!

@ Room F

Frédéric Descamps - Oracle, Kenny Gryp - Percona

During this tutorial, attendees will get their hands on virtual machines and migrate standard Master - Slave architectures to the new MySQL InnoDB Cluster (native Group Replication) with minimal downtime. After explaining what Group Replication is and how it works (the magic behind it), we will experiment with multiple use cases to understand MySQL Group Replication. We will also get the attendees more comfortable with this new technology.

During our experiments, we will try to:- Cleanly stop a node- Kill a node- Re-join a node- Produce conflicts and see how the cluster behaves- Create data inconsistency- Recover from full cluster outage

Finally, we will check how we can integrate MySQL InnoDB Cluster with external routing solutions like ProxySQL. We will also see how to use what the cluster exposes to performance_schema and sys schema to make the right choice.

We will highlight the new improvements made in MySQL 8.0 regarding Group Replication and InnoDB Cluster.

Are you dealing with the challenges of rapid growth? Are you thinking about how to scale your database layer? Should you use NoSQL? Should you shard your relational database? If you are facing these kinds of problems, this tutorial is for you.

Vitess is a database solution for deploying, scaling and managing large clusters of MySQL instances. It's architected to run as effectively in a public or private cloud architecture as it does on dedicated hardware. It combines and extends many important MySQL features with the scalability of a NoSQL database.

By the end of the session, attendees will understand the basics of how to get a Vitess cluster up and running. They will also understand how to perform most of the typical operations you face while running Vitess clusters in a production environment.

David Murphy - Percona, Barrett Chambers - Percona

This hands-on tutorial is for when a single replica set it not enough. As some people may not have attended the morning session, there will be talks on backup types and import/export patterns. However, these will be extended to also consider sharding.

We will also talk about multiple aspects of sharding and using the right engine for your workload. If you want to know the basics about MongoDB you should also attend the morning session.

What to expect in this session:- Types of sharding and which MongoDB uses- Rules for picking a good shard key- MongoDB engines and how they matter as much as the shard key itself- Example of a multiple DC data local cluster (GDPR, EU privacy as a reason for it)- Example of a multiple region cluster for DR- How to fix things when you pick a bad shard key- Implementing schema rules to prevent bad actors- Backup considerations with sharding- When do you scale up vsx scale out?- Troubleshooting a cluster, it's easier than you think when you know the rope

Table migrations remain a pain point for MySQL DBAs. There are more options than ever for running migrations, with the later versions' in-place alters and new third-party tools (like gh-ost). But with the increase in tools and procedures it's been shown that there is no one-size-fits-all tool. Depending on the table size, available disk space, database traffic, server performance and SLAs, some migration methods make more sense than others.

In this tutorial we will discuss and demonstrate the different tools and methods and the best practices and scenarios for each.

Monday 1:30PM-4:30PM

@ Room H

Sveta Smirnova - Percona, Alexander Rubin - Percona

Performance Schema in MySQL is maturing from version to version. It includes extended lock instrumentation, memory usage statistics, new tables for server variables, first time ever instrumentation for user variables, prepared statements and stored routines.

This tutorial covers all parallel replication implementation in MariaDB 10.0 and 10.1 and MySQL 5.6, 5.7 and 8.0 (including how it works in Group Replication).

MySQL and MariaDB have different types of parallel replication. In this tutorial, we present the different implementations that allow us to understand their limitations and tuning parameters. We cover how to make parallel replication faster and what to avoid for maximizing its benefits. We also present tests from Booking.com workloads.

Some of the subjects that are covered are group commit and optimistic parallel replication in MariaDB, the parallelism interval of MySQL and its Write Set optimization, and the ?slowing down the master to speed up the slave? optimization.

After this tutorial, you will know everything you need to implement and tune parallel replication in your environment. But more importantly, we will show how you can test parallel replication benefit in a non-disruptive way before deployment.

Robert Treat - OmniTI

Postgres 10 was one of the most significant releases in years, adding several long-awaited features: Logical Replication, an overhauled Partitioning System, enhanced multi-server management options, improved parallel query support and better support for multi-column statistics, (among other changes).

This tutorial will be split into two parts. The first will provide an overview of where the project is today and a look at many of the new features that came out in Postgres 10. For part two, we will provide a live demonstration of logical replication, and discuss various trade-offs between this new replication option and the other existing solutions.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop with Postgres 10 installed and to play along as we walk through our live demonstrations. This will also give you a good basis for setting up your own experiments to help you get hands-on experience with this new service.
